Clarissa Harlowe Barton (December 25, 1821 – April 12, 1912) was an American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and a patent clerk.

Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work and civil rights advocacy at a time before women had the right to vote. Read more on Wikipedia
